Temporary Fencing
Author: Susan E Hillyard

I want to rotate our sheep within the confines of the pasture perimeter fencing without investing in additional permanent fence. Just replaced all old perimeter fencing at substantial cost. I understand I will have to rotate (frequency) according to condition of pasture. I would be rotating a small herd 3 adults & 2 lambs so any recommendation of space needed per sheep prior to my purchasing electric temporary fencing would be appreciated. I have the cability (time) to move weekly if using smaller space confinement versus needing to move on a more infrequent basis if I would in the situation of being time constrained. Will be purchasing the 164 lengths of ElectroNet for use as temporary fencing and didn't want to overbuy for my purpose considering funds already invested.

One or two rolls should work for you. One roll does 41' by 41' square and two will do a 82' by 82'. It depends mostly on the quality/amount of grass on how big of area you need and how often you will need to move it.
